PATENT FFICE.

Y., ASSIGNOR TO WIEDERSUM IMPROVEMENT IN HARNESS-PADS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,185, dated February27, 1872.

SPECIFICATION.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PHILIP H. WEIDERSUM, ofNew York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Seamless Pads for Harness; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing andto the letters of reference marked thereon which form a part of thisspecitication.

The nature of my invention consists in the manner or mode of making theK-pad of double harness so as to show no seam in any place, as will behereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to'describe itsconstruction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in whichFigure l is a perspective view of a part of my improved K-pad for doubleharness, and Fig. 2 is a crosssection of the same.

0 represents the pad, and D the top or outer covering of the same. G isthe inner covering of the pad. The facing of the pad G is turned upalong its edges over a leather cord, at, runnin g the entire length ofthe pad, and the thusturned or doubled edge is sewed to the cord and tothe upper side of the ,inner covering G of the pad in such a manner thatno stitch or seam will be visible on the outside, and form a soft andraised edge along both sides of the pad. The top or strap D is thenlaced to the pad 0, between the corded edges, as shown at d, by astring, cord of leather, or other suitable material being drawn throughthe top of the pad and the under side of the strap far enough from theedges so as to be entirely hid from view when finished, thus forming, asit were, a seamless pad.

This mode of making the pad causes it to present a beautiful and neatappearance.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination of the pad 0, leather cords to a, inner covering G, andouter covering D, when said parts are connected together, as described,so as to present the appearance of a seamless pad, substantially asherein set forth.
